Service to God and Others

Serving God means living a life that is in accordance with His will1. This can encompass a lot of different things, from going to church every Sunday, having daily prayer, and focusing on God to volunteering at a homeless shelter. When you do something that makes someone else’s life better in some way, you’re serving God too. God wants you to serve out of gratitude for what he’s done for you too.
